🧠 OpenAnalyst Modes

OpenAnalyst introduces an intelligent three-mode system designed to give users full control over how AI behaves from exploration to execution to strategic planning. Each mode defines a clear boundary of what the AI can and cannot do, ensuring transparency, consistency, and reliability in every interaction.

💬 1. Chat Mode - Explore & Understand

Purpose:
Ideal for exploration, learning, and conceptual discussions.

Description:
In Chat Mode, OpenAnalyst acts as your intelligent analyst and research companion. It focuses purely on knowledge, explanation, and insight generation without making any modifications or performing actions. Use this mode to explore data, understand models, or clarify analytical concepts through conversation.

Key Capabilities:

• Knowledge-driven dialogue

• Data interpretation & explanation

• Insight exploration

• No data modification or execution

Mindset: “Let me explain…”

Best For:
Analysts, learners, or anyone seeking to understand why and how behind data insights.

⚙️ 2. Agent Mode - Execute & Deliver

Purpose:
Built for action, automation, and tangible results.

Description:
In Agent Mode, OpenAnalyst becomes an active executor capable of completing analytical workflows, running models, transforming data, and delivering outcomes. It interacts with you for clarification, reports progress transparently, and ensures every action is traceable and reversible.

Key Capabilities:

• Executes tasks and workflows

• Automates data operations

• Provides real-time progress updates

• Interacts dynamically for clarification

Mindset: “Let me implement…”

Best For:
Professionals who want to move from idea to execution data analysts, engineers, and business users who need fast, accurate automation.

🧩 3. Plan Mode - Design & Strategize

Purpose:
Focused on structured planning and project design.

Description:
Plan Mode helps you design a formal, step-by-step strategy for any data-related goal without executing it. The AI crafts detailed analytical or operational plans that can later be reviewed, refined, and executed manually or via Agent Mode.

Key Capabilities:

• Generates structured project or workflow plans

• Defines goals, milestones, and resource requirements

• Presents formal documentation of the plan

• Does not execute any actions

Mindset: “Let me design…”

Best For:
Teams and strategists who need a clear, actionable roadmap before implementation.
